A boy found an eagle’s egg and put it in the nest of a chicken. The eagle hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life, the changing eagle- thinking he was a chicken – did what the other chicken did. He scratched in the dirt for seeds and insects to eat more than a few feet of the ground. After all, that is how ordinary chicken were supposed to fly.
Years passed. And the challenging eagle grew very old. One day, he saw a magnificent bird far above him in the cloudless sky. Hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful wind currents, it soared with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings.
“What a beautiful bird! What is it?” he exclaimed.
